<\/p>\nCarrie Bickmore has revealed a shocking head injury after a late-night accident at home left her with a deep gash that now requires surgery.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old radio and TV host shared the ordeal with fans on Instagram on Monday, posting a photo of the injury and revealing the moment she walked into the corner of a wall during the Easter break.<\/p>\n
“Walked into the corner of the wall over the break. Looked like a crime scene. Blood spurting from my head,” she said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Got it glued back together so I could go on holiday with my family the next day.”<\/p>\n
However, the injury has proven more serious than first thought, with Bickmore later revealing she had likely damaged a nerve.<\/p>\n
“Turns out I have hit a nerve. Healing terribly. And hurting,” she wrote.<\/p>\n
“Also randomly had a lady drop her carry-on suitcase on my head. God it hurt. Now gotta have it fixed properly by a plastic surgeon.”<\/p>\n
Keeping her trademark humour, she added: “Scars are hot yeh? Face for radio (except tonight when I am back on tv for Celebrity Intervention on channel 7)!”<\/p>\n
The mother-of-three opened up further about the incident on her radio show with co-host Tommy Little, explaining it happened in the middle of the night just before she left for a holiday to Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
“The night before I went, I was asleep in the middle of the night and got up to get water,” Bickmore told Little, before her co-host interjected and asked if she was at a hotel or in her own home.<\/p>\n
“No- in my own home,” Bickmore said, before Little joked: “You did this in your own home- are you ok?”<\/p>\n
Bickmore continued: “I misjudged where the wall was and I literally walked into it, the corner, with such force that as I fell, I collected a lamp with me that was on the bedside table.”<\/p>\n
She admitted she had been feeling lightheaded at the time and believes it may have contributed to the accident.<\/p>\n
“I could feel myself getting lightheaded, and I thought, I’ll walk with speed so I can get to the bathroom quicker- and then I walked into this wall. And I had blood- I could feel it coming out\u2026 It was spurting out, I could catch it with my hand, and then it dripped all down my eye.”<\/p>\n
After paramedics arrived, Bickmore had the wound bandaged and was advised to have it glued the following morning before her flight.<\/p>\n
But the fix didn’t hold. She later revealed the wound “popped open”, leaving her unable to swim or wash her hair for 10 days while on holiday.<\/p>\n
Now back in Australia, Bickmore believes the injury has not healed properly and may involve nerve damage.<\/p>\n
“When I tap my head, I feel this sort of pain in the back of my head, it’s a shooting pain- it must be a nerve,” she said.<\/p>\n
A plastic surgeon has since told her the initial treatment was ineffective.<\/p>\n
“He said, ‘it was so deep that the glue has done absolutely nothing’,” Bickmore said.<\/p>\n
She explained the repair will involve removing the glue, stitching the nerve and then carefully closing multiple layers of skin.<\/p>\n
Bickmore said she wanted to be upfront about what happened.<\/p>\n
“I was walking to get water, and I’ve done myself a doozy,” she said, adding she didn’t want people thinking she had “fallen outside a nightclub”.<\/p>\n
Despite the ordeal, she appeared in good spirits while filming the new comedy show Celebrity Intervention on Monday evening, hosted by Mick Molloy and Glenn Robbins.<\/p>\n
She was even joined by her eldest son, 18-year-old Oliver Lange, who joked: “Seeing you dressed as a lifeguard made me want to drown.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carrie Bickmore has revealed a shocking head injury after a late-night accident at home left her with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620745,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,211590,134],"class_list":["post-620744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-carrie-bickmore","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620744\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
